Click f12 before it loads then select your USB as the drive you'd like to boot into and it will do so. Once you do it will again restart your system. From there you'll need to move your USB to the top of the list of your boot order, then disable UEFI, it will change to legacy after you save and exit. Then it will restart your computer, before it loads keep clicking F2, or F12 (it will depend on your version of OS) and you will be loaded into bios. Double click that, then indicate you'd like 'advanced start-up'. Alternatively, 'search' your computer for 'bios', advanced system setting or something similar will pop up. You'll need to google how to change the bios of the Windows OS you're using. Depending on which version of Windows you use, the process is different for doing so. I'm assuming you're running Windows so here's what you'll do next to get your computer to boot from the USB rather than your default drive. Once everything is filled in properly, hit 'create' and it will make a bootable Kali Linux USB. Next select the drive of your USB and click the 'format disk' check box. Next you'll need to navigate to the place on your computer where you downloaded the ISO. You'll be asked what type of operating system you'd like to install. Next, Download this software and go through the installation process. Second, right click on your USB and select 'format'. First, download a brand new ISO and save it to your computer. I'm gathering that you simply saved the Kali ISO to the USB am I correct? If so, that is why it isn't working. When I look at the drive it says 'Kali Live', however when I boot up it gives me no boot menu.Ĭan anyone spot from the limited information what I'm doing wrong? Would be grateful for any advice - have been trying different methods for a few days now.īenOk so you've created a disc image of the Kali ISO on the USB. As an alternative I've created a disc image of the Kali ISO on the USB.

I've tried following the steps on the instructions, however have been unsuccessful. I'm a complete beginner w/r/t Linux and I'm trying to boot Kali Linux from a USB. I'm currently awaiting my Linux Bible in the post, however for now was wondering if anyone can help me.
